The Seyhan Dam [2] is a hydroelectric dam on the Seyhan River north of Adana, Turkey.
The dam was constructed in the 1950s as the first in a series of hydroelectric projects funded by the World Bank. The project was authorized by Prime Minister Adnan Menderes. The project manager was Süleyman Demirel,[3] who later became prime minister and the ninth president of Turkey.
The ancient city of Augusta was flooded by the Seyhan Dam Lake in 1955.[4]
